Re: Marauder Porn!
I just ordered 3 Jaguar pickups from Rose pickups.
Also received recently what I believe to be 10x NOS Moog black switches.

Re: Marauder Porn!
Fiesta, LPB, or Daphne for me.
I think pearloid would look better with the black covers though..

Re: Marauder Porn!
Of the colours you listed, I'd be going with LPB... I think metallics tend to look better with pearloid guards, they just have a bit more depth.
What about a custom colour? A metallic or candy Fiesta Red or Daphne Blue?
Or a candy root beer...
Maybe even some competition stripes? Sonic blue stripes on LPB or white stripes on Dakota red would both be awesome choices.

Re: Marauder Porn!
Slightly off topic - does this have the same shape as the marauder type 1?

Re: Marauder Porn!
Looks the same to me. I'm happy to have a go at a Marauder 1 if that would interest you!N0_Camping4U wrote:Slightly off topic - does this have the same shape as the marauder type 1?
I know Ken Calvett (Roadhouse) can make the pickups, I believe it's Bass VI plates lower and Jag plate upper and a Strat trem.
I've always kinda loved this one myself - warts and all!
I don't know the exact history of it. It looks a bit like a Marauder prototype with the stealth pickups and 4-switch plate. But it also seems to be a JM body cut for a 22-fret neck? Also weird that it looks as if the bridge has been moved towards the neck, my guess is that the body could have been a Baritone prototype of some sort in the past.

Re: Marauder Porn!
The Marauder is a beautiful design in almost any color but I prefer the metallics over solids. Especially the LPB. In that, I'm in agreement with Deed_Poll.

Re: Marauder Porn!
Hello all!
So I finally got delivery of the polished stainless control plates for the Marauder projects!
They look good. There's still a tiny bit of steel grain showing, but you can see from this video that they are certainly well polished and very shiny!
I still have to deburr some of the sharper edges, and there is a tiny bit of distortion where some of the holes and countersinks have been drilled (you can see this in the reflections, hence the video) though I presume once they are in place this won't be too noticeable.
I'm working on flattening down a new bit of Rebecca's lovely tort, and you never know, I might make a Marauder guard from it just to test the fit! Early indications are promising.
